i just wanted to cancel recurring payments so i dont forget to do so once it expires.
i thought that would give me premium access till 2 weeks are over?????

The idea behind a free trial is that it's a trial. When canceling you are basically saying "tried it, decided I don't want it."

It was my impression that there are very clear messages when canceling a trial that it will end immediately. If there wasn't, perhaps you could contact support and ask that they make that more clear. I do know that the Help/FAQ Knowledgebase clearly says that.
